The Death Ray

Sept. 8, Light Industry, 220 36th St. (betw. 2nd & 3rd Aves.), Brooklyn; 7:30, $7

A rarely seen, feature-length work by early Russian cinematic wizard Lev Kuleshov, The Death Ray is a Russian take on the American sci-fi spy genre, one very much alive even in 1924. Eminent film theoretician Keith Sanborn presents the kinda crappy print—downloaded. Also please note:The film is missing its climactic reel. Ha!

Bottom Line: Halfway between a lecture and a movie, it still beats the shit out of All About Steve.
